Jets can never seem to fire on all cylinders at the same time

The Jet Press argues that the New York Jets continually struggle to perform well across all phases of the game at the same time. While the offense ranked first in the NFL in EPA per play over the past two weeks with quarterback Geno Smith, the team went 0-2 during that span due to defensive struggles, with the defense ranking 30th in the league.

The writer notes that this trend mirrors past seasons, citing the Robert Saleh era when elite defensive rankings were undermined by a last-place offense. The article concludes that while the offensive improvements with players like Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, and Dylan Parham are promising, fixing the defense and overall balance will require future coaching and roster moves.
